Yes, it’s true, Breakfast Week is coming to an end. However, I’m going to keep this series somewhat open-ended. This means I’ll probably pop back in with another breakfast week here and there until I’ve exhausted the topic. Sound good?

Other than my secret bacon recipe, this week was mostly focused on the sweeter side of things. However, given how much I love sweets, that probably was to be expected.

I thought I’d conclude things today with an incredibly delicious quiche recipe.

How to Make Spinach, Bacon, and Swiss Quiche:

If you haven’t had quiche, I hope you’ll give it a try. In case you’re not sure what it is, it’s like an omelet baked in a pie crust. But that omelet is really decadent and full of cheese, meats, and vegetables. It’s good stuff. For the filling, you can use whatever you like – bacon, ham, lobster, turkey, just veggies, etc. The combinations are endless.

Back in my high school days, I worked at a country-style cafe. Quiche was always on the menu, so I’ve been eating and loving it for a long time. Naturally, it works well for breakfast and brunch, but it also makes a great lunch when served with a side salad.

After trying many combinations, I’ve come to love the combination of spinach, bacon, and Swiss cheese the best. I’m not sure why it is, but the flavors work wonderfully together. And there’s bacon involved.

Plus, if you if cook up your bacon the way I recommended earlier, it’s even better.

For my quiche, I used a store-bought crust. (Don’t tell!) However, you can make your own if you wish. I also like to pre-bake the crust just for a few minutes. This keeps it from getting terribly soggy when you pour in the egg mixture.

As always, I recommend buying quality cheese and shredding it yourself. I think this makes a huge flavor difference in recipes. As much as I love the convenience of bagged shredded cheese, nothing beats the taste and texture when you grate it fresh. Trust me.

  1. Will be making this for dinner after reading the reviews. Try to remember to let you know how it came out the sound of all these reviews so I think I got a winner here.

  2. It was delicious. I increased the eggs to 7 since they were a little small and added chives in it as well. It was amazing and will definitely make it again!

  3. OMGAWD! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. So easy to make. I also used your recipe for Bacon. I had to use regular slice Bacon, due to a Jaw issue. Paid close attention while baking. Definitely saving this recipe! Thank YOU for sharing it.

  4. Perfection! I eyeballed how much of the bacon, swiss and spinach I wanted, and it came out so puffy and gorgeous! This will be my go to from now on.

  5. I made this quiche this afternoon for lunch and served it with a simple fresh tomato salad, it was delicious. It was easy to put together, very straightforward and was ready from the oven right on the dot-no goo-ey center. Great recipe that we all loved, I will be making it again very soon. 🙂

  6. I have the the same recipe and these ingredients make enough for 2 pie crusts(frozen/store bought) my store only sells a 2 pack crust so it works out perfectly, anyway great recipe and thanks for sharing!!

  7. This quiche is SO fabulous! Made as directed and it looked just like your photos! Shredding your own Swiss and cooking bacon as suggested is a must! Thanks for a great recipe! Going to have the last piece right now!

  8. This looks great! I also use prepared crusts for my quiche 😉 But the tip about cheese is good to know, and I will have to try the half and half instead of milk. I’ll bet it will taste better. I think I like bacon almost as much as you do!
